Weatherization Field Labs

Join Professional Home Inspection
Institute's experienced instructors and other course participants in the field. This hands on training will give
you the opportunity to apply the skills you have learned in the energy auditing and weatherization course. You
will install a blower door and measure building tightness, use a thermal imaging camera to identify insulation
gaps and air leaks and test furnaces and ducts in the home.

This optional training takes place at our facility in Madison, South Dakota. See below for information about making
travel arrangments.

This field lab is available free of charge to PHII students who have enrolled in the Certified Weatherization
Contractor or Certified Energy Auditor packages. See below*
